Well, finally sorted out the photo hosting somewhat - Flickr to the rescue. Colin I'll be honest, most of what I am doing is so not worth taking photos of, but, I did get the seats sorted. To recap, I had five front seats and one and a half rear seats - the top of the back seat had been badly repaired where the vinyl had cracked in the sun - local upholstery place to the rescue. I figured I could do the front seats myself. This was literally one frame, another cushion, a third cover and possibly a fourth seat back. I am quite proud of how it turned out!
Frame:
BTW the reason for the clips in the cover to the right is that I had to glue a cover over the wire as the original cover had largely disintegrated - this wire is then clipped to give the seat its shape. The red came from a pair of SWMBO's jeans - and yes I did have permission!
and the foam - interestingly while the foam is labelled left and right, not every foam is exactly the same even though you couldn't tell from the seats.
and finally the seat itself!
Oh and did I mention that when I sit in the car on the seat my head hits the ceiling of the car? After all this I may have to have the frame cut down!
Onward!
